Candy Doll Lipstick in Apricot Beige Review and Swatch

 Another lipstick from Japan that I recently tried, Candy Doll's Apricot Beige lipstick is indeed, as the name describes, an apricot beige matte lipstick. THIS LIPSTICK ACCENTUATES DRY PATCHES...SO MOISTURIZE.
I was extremely upset when I first tried this lipstick on, because it made me look dead and was very unflattering. It looked like I had just applied concealer to my lips. The application of this lipstick is a pain as it applies quite unevenly. While it is pigmented, i find that this lipstick is very drying and almost looks like caked on foundation. HOWEVER!!!!! I found out a wonderful way to make this lipstick wearable. This lipstick acts almost like a lip concealer, and helps to cover your natural lip color. Add a pink lip gloss, and it becomes much more wearable.

 This lipstick stays on for a reasonable amount of time, but is not the longest lasting. It also wears off in an unflattering uneven way. However it looks nice with lip gloss and dark eyes. This lipstick tastes DISGUSTING though. So try not to get it in your mouth.

-> With just lipstick....it's horrible isn't it... :( Streaky to apply and a weird color on me...maybe it will work better on someone else!

 With lipstick and lipgloss...MUCH MORE WEARABLE!

GRADE: D+
Conclusion: Ultimately, this lipstick is one that can be passed over. There plenty more nude lipsticks out there that are moisturizing, beautiful, and easier to apply. However if you do like it...you can buy it on ebay.com or online.
